Lexus NX F Sport Black Line Coming to Chicago Auto Show
Daily Slideshow: Lexus is bringing gala-ready NX 300 F Sport Black Line Edition to the 2019 Chicago Auto Show.
Black Line Affair
Last year, Lexus revealed two new special edition F Sport models at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show: GS F sedan and RC F coupe. Once again, the automaker is using Chicago to unveil a limited-edition (only 1,000 units being produced) style package for the 2019 Lexus NX 300 F Sport. Making its formal debut at this year's 2019 Chicago Auto Show, the Black Line Special Edition adds extra finesse to the base NX 300 F Sport in the form of additional standard styling features and equipment.
F Sport, Plus
Black Line models get all the bells and whistles of the base NX 300 F Sport with additional standard features. This includes Lexus' Comfort Package with Blind Spot Monitor and Heated/Ventilated Front Seats, Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column, Intuitive Parking Assist, Power Rear Door with Kick Sensor, Moonroof and Auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror.

Same Engine
Using Lexus' 2.0-liter turbo inline 4, the NX 300 F Sport pumps out 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The 2.0-liter engine uses an exhaust manifold-mounted turbocharger that Lexus engineers claim reduces turbo lag while improving responsiveness and fuel economy.

Enhanced Engine Acoustics
On top of its larger, dual chrome-tipped exhaust, the Black Line Edition adds Active Sound Control (ASC) to enhance engine noise from within the car through a speaker mounted behind the dashboard that is driver-adjustable via a volume dial located on the front console.
